Mostly detail stuff. Not jumping on wheels for a bit because I want to see what the market brings that differs from what is currently available. I've gone back and forth with a few things but nothing concrete. I think I can get by for a bit with it the way it is now. Going to the GT500 Track Attack June 1st (which I think will be the first one) and will be looking for ideas while I'm there.

Plenty of work for the Fox to keep me busy the whole summer.

Tob always bringing the heat! Great info and pics. Love the white stripe delete with the factory interior.

Yeah the white stripe delete really ties in nice w/ the white accents that the interior has. I really wished they offered different interior accent colors, unless the car is white or has white stripes the white accents doesn't really match.

How you feeling buddy?

Thanks for asking. I could complain but I'm trying to be a bit more optimistic than I usually am. I'm lucky to be alive and just trying to enjoy every moment I was given. Without some truly great surgeons at the Cleveland Clinic and some really innovative heart saving techniques and procedures, my time on earth was over.

I'll share this...my wife wouldn't say it but I think she thought it was goodbye. I signed everything over to her before they started cutting. My great friend George from MGW drove up and was there when they rolled me into a room post-op, hooked up to a ventilator and all other kinds of shit. I was so ****ed up I think I wanted them to pull the plug as that week in ICU was absolutely brutal.

I had a conversation with George a few days ago and I told him I wanted to thank him for being there and that it meant a lot to me. He decided to come clean and told me that I had that look...like it wasn't me anymore and I wasn't going to make it. I think I called him a son of a bitch and we both laughed.

So this car shit has been good therapy and the people in the community can make a huge difference. That said, I appreciate the inquiry.

Good for you. Hug your family and enjoy your toys!

We lost my old man at 63 years old to heart disease. ... that was 8 years ago. He was tough as ****ing nails but it was a fight he could not win.

God Bless you!

Glad you are well! A friend of mine in his late 20's is alive today (6 years later) thanks to Cleveland Clinic and their heart team. That place is to heart patients what Sloan Kettering in New York is for pancreatic cancer patients. No better place to go, that's for sure.

Great pics and amazing work on your GT500.
You’re right, it is great therapy.
Awesome you’re on the mend buddy.
Glad to hear your rockstar analogy, it’s nice to know it’s worth the wait.

Tob · May 23, 2020

Well I'd like to see others add what they've done to their 2020's as well but I suppose Corona has had a rather negative impact here. Hopefully you can order one soon J.

Thanks buddy, I’m looking forward to seeing the ‘21 colors and changes if any.
Yours is better than new and I’m definitely following along to see where you take it!

there's a lot more to that story, and the 500 owner fully asked for all he got lol. you can take an L to a car like that without a bit of shame, and then you can also do what he did. both cars are very fast, i just enjoyed the edit.

The parts no one wants to mention, is the person posting that video wasnt there, its not his car, its not his shop, or onvolved in any way. L is an L, thats for sure, but the car that came out was said to be 920whp, so a good friendly race, turns out out mkes over 1k and traps over 160, as said by the shop off video. but again, its not about the loss, its about video rights. but hey.. all in the past now
